Advantage

While technology has enabled Block Funds to allow improved access, the fundamentals of successful real estate investing have not changed. Block Funds is not a financial technology company. It is a 77 year old real estate sponsor with state of the art technology and a time-tested, comprehensive process that is continually developed and refined to ensure that every opportunity meets our exacting standards. We believe the Block Funds proposition is unique: through our platform you are investing alongside a well-established sponsor and its institutional partners.

You can rest assured that we have gone to great lengths to understand and implement the new SEC guidelines for the protection of our investors. The SEC requires that we take “reasonable steps” to verify the accredited status of our investment partners. With the process we have put in place to satisfy this requirement, we are establishing what we believe to be “best practices” for the protection of all parties. It can be as simple as having your broker, attorney or accountant sign a letter we have available on our site. We are always available to clarify the steps that must be taken. The process is designed to help us understand your needs, articulate appropriate solutions and build long-term relationships. We take our role as stewards seriously.

Investing was once something reserved for the wealthy. People who had money used their money to make more money. Today, that progression no longer applies. The advent of crowd funding gives investors of all kinds the opportunity to break the mold that once only allowed the rich to gain a meaningful return on their investment.

Traditionally, the amount of money investors could expect to receive was directly related to their disposable income. “Affluent” investors were considered individuals with disposable income that covered the wide range between 20 thousand to two-million dollars. These investors, on average, could only expect a six percent return on their investments. This figure was considerably lower than individuals deemed “high net worth” or above. The two-million dollar mark was a line of demarcation for individuals considered high net worth. Two to ten million dollars was used to categorize ultra-high net worth individuals, while 100 million dollars served to qualify institutional investors.

In other words, the more you could invest, the greater the potential, and percentage, of profit you could expect to receive. Until today. The introduction of Block Funds now opens an investment arena once available only to the wealthy: commercial real estate.

The new availability of commercial real estate investment means the expected six percent return barrier for investments by affluent investors has been shattered forever, leaving bank accounts, emerging market bonds, stock market speculation and commercial real estate as options with diminished appeal in the face of real estate crowdfunding. Still in its formative stages, real estate crowdfunding will give 99 percent of the population a chance to reap financial benefits once only available to the fabled one-percent.
